delegation of Commercial club repre
sentatives headed by President J. V.

left this morning for the Garden City!
and is spending the day there, con

this morning contained the following
story:
Pendleton business men. Round-up
officials, etc., will be in Walla Walla
this morning to make vigorous pro
test to Walla Walla business men
against a wild west show In Walla
Walla this fall.
A telegram was received by the
commercial club yesterday from Roy
Ritner of the fair association stating
that a delegation will be here nnd ask
ing that a meeting be called. Presi
dent J. C. Scott of the conmteri lal as-
soclatlon sent a message telling them I
to come ahead and has asked business j
men who wish to meet the Pendleton
lans to gather at the commercial club
rooms at 10 o'clock this morning.
President Scott said yesterday that
he did not know what the commercial
club could do about It as the club had
nothing to do with the fair associa
tion, but that If the Pendleton people
wanted to meet the business men he
would call a meeting
Secretary R. II. Johnson of the fair
association said he would probably be
present though business might call
him away. . - -
The Pendleton crowd will arrive
about 9 o'clock and expects to return
home In the afternoon.
The report that Walla Walla was
planning a cowboy festival of some
sort has aroused considerable opposi
tion In Pendleton, according to papers
of that city.
The fair directors have made no
public announcement of their plans.
but it is known they have been con
sidering holding a "Rodeo," "Stam
pede," "Round-up," "Wild West
Show," "Range Life," or whatever It
will be called.

lambing Is under way are all of an
encouraging nature. They show that
while some losses have occurred they
have been light being apparently but
little more than the normal losses.

camps where lambing Is under way Is
stated by J..E. Smith, one of the heav
iest growers of the county. Nor has
Mr. Smith heard of anyone else who
has suffered much -from tho flurry of
snow night before last. Out at Pilot
Rock where some of the Smith com
pany's sheep are wintered, lambing
has not yet started and so no harm

sheep are being fed as the range grass
became covered with snow. It is un
derstood that the lambing season has
not yet started on the Cunningham
company's big ranch.

The orator dwelt on the fact that he
believed the highest accomplishment
of the present administration would
be the restoration of what he termed
the spirit of the forefathers to the In
stitutions of' the United States.
' "You cannot cross .the United
States," declared Mr. Bryan, "without
passing through a state which Is gov
erner by a progressive democrat. Illi
nois has just placed one In office.
Ohio elected a progressive at the last
election, as did Nebraska, Kansas and
Missouri, and you came very near to
filling out this list of western states
by electing one here in Iowa.
"Just a day or two before I left
Washington a new United States sen
ator arrived. He was a progressive
democrat from New Hampshire. All
the members of. the cabinet are pro
gressive democrats and the leader in
the senate Is John W. Kern, for whom
six million progressive democrats cast
their votes for vice president a short
time ago. More than this, the senate
of the United States has been made
progressive and the new rules of that
body enable the majority of the party
to control."
